Play celebrates PlayStation All-Stars with 4 special edition
covers

Worldwide multimedia content publisher Imagine Publishing has
released a split run of special edition covers for the December
issue of the UK’s only independent PlayStation magazine,
Play.

Celebrating the release of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale
on PS3 and PS Vita, the four commemorative covers capture the
history of Sony’s PlayStation hardware, spotlighting the
mascots that have made the brand so vital to Play’s loyal
readership.

“PlayStation has given rise to some of the most iconic
characters across all forms of media, and I’m proud of the
way these four covers represent that,” said Samuel Roberts,
Deputy Editor.

"Play has been around since the launch of the original
PlayStation, and I feel this is a great tribute to the titles that
have come to define Sony’s various platforms over the past 18
years.”

With four covers to choose from, reflecting the heritage of
PlayStation’s biggest brands – Nathan Drake of the
Uncharted series, Kratos from God Of War, Sackboy from
LittleBigPlanet and Raiden from Metal Gear Solid – this issue
of Play first reflects the broad array of iconic characters that
have debuted on Sony’s hardware since the original
PlayStation was first released in 1994.
